    -treading water in San Francisco bay next to a capsized boat for over an hour. Was so cold I couldn't talk when picked up by another boat.

    -20 below or so in Casper before the wind chill. I don't want to think about what 40 or 50 below feel like.

    -27*F at work, Feb 2011, the windchill took it to -54*F. Pretty miserable considering we were spending 10min rotations outside clearing snow from around the telescope and the road. If I recall, about 16" of snow fell during that storm, was miserable. My truck froze completely over and I couldn't get inside it.

    Add, Also Replacing Lamps and ballests in a commercial ice cream freezer. -40 degrees. Funnist part about that, it was the time that the outside temp was over 100 for 5-6 days in a row.

    -72 Fairbanks, AK back in 1956 at Ladd AFB, now known as Fort Wainright, AK. At those temps, wearing starched fatigues was almost painful. At least there were no winds or breezes.
